Jira and Third Party Apps
As we have seen in previous chapters, Jira is a highly customizable product that allows you to customize many of its features to better suit your needs. Of course, no product is perfect, and despite Jira’s rich set of features, there are still gaps within the product that cannot fulfill everyone’s needs. Recognizing that they cannot do this alone, Atlassian allows Jira to be extended by others, including partners, independent software developers, and customers, through Jira’s highly extensible app infrastructure.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:
- Apps and what they are
- Atlassian Marketplace
- Installing and managing apps after they are installed
- Using apps to extend Jira’s features and capabilities
